Mini me: Katie Price and her daughter Princess Tiaamii have matching blonde straigtened hair as they leave a Soho, London salon last week
Peter Andre has hit out at his ex-wife Katie Price after she straightened their daughter Princess's hair.
The three-year-old is known for her naturally wild curly blonde hair, but was photographed with poker straight locks during a trip to the hair salon with her mother last week.
After previously speaking of his disdain for using irons on his daughter before, Andre admitted he would prefer his ex to wait until Princess is older before using straighteners.
Writing in his New! magazine column this week, Andre said: 'There was a photo in the papers of Princess and her mum and my daughter clearly had her hair straightened.
'In my opinion, a three-year-old child shouldn't have her lovely hair straightened.
'If she wants to do it when she's older that's fine. I'd prefer it if her lovely curls were left natural.'
Hair experts have warned children's hair and scalps are more delicate and more prone to damage than adults so if straightening irons are used, they should be at very low temperatures.
The exes were previously embroiled in feud over their children's hair a year ago.
The glamour model admitted she was angry with Andre after he allowed his hairdresser brother Michael to give the three-year-old's hair a trim.
Writing on her Twitter page in the early hours of Boxing Day 2009, she fumed: 'Can't believe that when I got kids back, Princess comes back with her hair all cut short. Soo out of order.'

She then added: 'Pete's brother has cut Princess's hair off. Can't put it in a ponytail. Why would they do that? To prove what point?'
Defending his decision to trim Princess's hair, Andre told OK! magazine a few weeks later: 'That was the most pathetic thing to get brought out into the public domain.
'It was a trim off the ends of her hair, for God's sake. It was so pathetic. My daughter's hair needed a trim, what's the problem?
'The truth is, Princess had come to me a few times with hair straightened by straightening irons, which used to annoy me, so I had to get it trimmed.'

In an interview in November 2009, Price admitted using hair straighteners on her toddler's delicate hair.
She said: 'She has naturally curly blonde hair which I straightened recently and it didn't look good - she looked like a little troll.'
Footage of her straightening Princess's hair then appeared in a February 2010 episode of her ITV2 reality show What Katie Did Next.
Meanwhile, Andre has laughed off reports he is moving in with his new girlfriend Elen Rivas, insisting it is still early days.

He wrote in his column: 'We've only known each other for two and a half months and we're enjoying each other's company.
'First and foremost I believe in the kids having stability, so the last thing I'm going to do is rush into moving in with someone after such a short period of time.'
The couple have been dating since meeting at their manager Claire Powell's 45th birthday party at the Crazy Bear Members Club in London on November 20 last year.
In between their work commitments, the pair have been visiting each other at their homes. Andre lives in Surrey, while Rivas resides in a £3million Chelsea townhouse - bought for her by Lampard.
The pair also have children the same age - Rivas has two daughters Luna, five, and Isla, three, while Andre is dad to Junior, five, and Princess.
